Seventh Meditation on Prayer: In Prayer We Exercise Faith

As we pray we enter the promised land and every place our spiritual feet tread we lay hold of all the promises of God (Joshua 1:3). By faith we lay hold of every promise of God, believing for God’s manifestation and intervention, obtaining the treasure of eternal blessing found in Christ Jesus our Lord (Col 2:3). In prayer God augments our faith as truth grips our hearts, knowing that whatever we ask in his name shall be ours, bringing glory to the Father (John 14:13).

Through the gift of faith mountains are moved, bringing deliverance, healing, and restoration (Mark 12:23; Cor 12:9). Lives are changed as in answer to prayer the Spirit empowers the gospel message as men hear of the salvation of God. In communion with God, our hearts are gripped with the truth that everything is possible to him who believes (Mark 9:23).
